PET scans were acquired by an Inveon PET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, TN, USA). Sprague-Dawley rats were kept under anesthesia with 1–2% (v/v) isoflurane during the scan. The radiotracer (ca. 1 mCi/150–200 μL) was injected via a preinstalled catheter via tail vein. A dynamic scan in 3D list mode was acquired for 90 min. For pretreatment studies, 10 (3 mg/kg), KML29 (3 mg/kg) or URB597 (3 mg/kg) dissolved in 300 μL saline containing 5% ethanol, 5% DMSO and 5% Tween® 80 was injected at 30 min via the tail vein catheter before the injection of 16. For displacement (“chase”) studies, KML29 (3 mg/kg) was injected at 15 min via the tail vein catheter after the injection of 16. As we previously reported,46 (link), 90 (link), 91 (link) the PET dynamic images were reconstructed using ASIPro VW software (Analysis Tools and System Setup/Diagnostics Tool, Siemens Medical Solutions). Volumes of interest, including the whole brain, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, striatum, thalamus and pons were placed referencing the MRI template software. The radioactivity was decay-corrected and expressed as the standardized uptake value. SUV = (radioactivity per mL tissue/injected radioactivity) x body weight.

18F-FDG (1 mCi) was injected via the tail vein, and the injected mice were anesthetized with 2% isoflurane in 100% oxygen. A Siemens Inveon PET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA, USA) was used for PET imaging. The transverse resolution was <1.8 mm at the center. After allowing uptake for 10 min, 30 min of emission PET data were acquired with a 350-650 keV energy window. The list-mode PET data were reconstructed using 3D reprojection methods. The pixel size of the reconstructed images was 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.79 mm3. Attenuation, scatter corrections, and normalization were performed. To identify regional differences between groups, a region of interest (ROI) was drawn in the hippocampus. The maximal value of the ROI was calculated within ROI regions to avoid a partial volume effect. ROIs were drawn on at least 10 subsequent coronal sections of PET data, and then the averaged value of the PET counts of individual mice were used for statistics. Asipro Software (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) was used for ROI delineation. For normalization of body weight and injected dose differences, the PET counts of the hippocampus were normalized to the whole-brain counts.

PET scans were conducted using
an Inveon PET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, TN),
which provides 159 transaxial slices with 0.796 mm (center-to-center)
spacing, a 10 cm transaxial field of view, and a 12.7 cm axial field
of view. All list-mode acquisition data were sorted into three-dimensional
(3D) sinograms, which were then Fourier rebinned into two-dimensional
(2D) sinograms (frames × min: 4 × 1, 8 × 2, 8 ×
5). PET dynamic images were reconstructed with filtered back projection
using a Hanning filter and a Nyquist cutoff of 0.5 cycles/pixel. Tumor
bearing mice were kept in the prone position under anesthesia with
1–2% (v/v) isoflurane during the scan. The tracers (8–17
MBq/200–500 μL) in saline were injected via a preinstalled
tail vein catheter. Immediately after the injection, a dynamic scan
in 3D list mode was acquired for 60 min. Maximum intensity projection
images were obtained for tumor bearing mice. PET dynamic images were
reconstructed by filtered back projection using a Hanning filter with
a Nyquist cutoff of 0.5 cycles/pixel, which was summed using analysis
software (ASIPro VM, Siemens Medical Solutions). Volumes of interest,
including the tumors and muscle, were placed using the ASIPro software.
The radioactivity was decay-corrected for the injection time and expressed
as the percent of the total injection dose per gram tissue (%ID/g).

The general procedure for PET studies was described previously39 (link), 41 (link) with minor modification in this work. Briefly, PET scans were carried out by an Inveon PET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, TN, USA). Sprague-Dawley rats were kept under anesthesia using 1–2% (v/v) isoflurane during the scan. The radiotracer (ca. 1 mCi / 150 μL) was injected into the tail vein via a preinstalled catheter. A dynamic scan in 3D list mode was acquired for 90 min. For pretreatment studies, a solution of KML29 (3 mg/kg) in 300 μL saline containing 10% ethanol and 5% Tween® 80 was injected via the pre-embedded tail vein catheter at 30 min prior to tracer injection. As we previously reported,39 (link), 77 (link), 78 (link) the PET dynamic images were reconstructed using ASIPro VW software (Analysis Tools and System Setup/Diagnostics Tool, Siemens Medical Solutions). Volumes of interest, including the whole brain, hippocampus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, striatum, thalamus, and pons were placed using ASIPro software. The radioactivity was decay-corrected and expressed as the standardized uptake value. SUV = (radioactivity per mL tissue / injected radioactivity) × body weight.

18F-FDG was synthesized according to the method developed by Ido [21 (link)] to a purity of > 95% in the Jiangsu Atomic Energy Laboratory (Jiangsu, China). Micro-PET images were acquired with an Inveon PET scanner (Siemens Preclinical Solutions, LLC, Knoxville, TN, USA). Before scanning, rats were fasted for 8–12 h, after which 7.4–11.1 MBq of 18F-FDG was injected via the tail vein and PET scans were obtained 60 min later. Anesthesia was maintained during the PET scans with 1.5% isoflurane in 100% oxygen at 1.5 L/min. For the scans, rats were placed prone on the bed of micro-PET, and the limbs were fixed with tape. A 10-min static single-frame scan was acquired with a small-animal PET camera, and images were reconstructed by ordered subsets expectation maximization (OSEM)-3D IAW (Siemens Preclinical Solutions).
Two experienced nuclear medicine physicians examined all PET images in a double-blinded fashion. Regions of interest (ROIs) in the right lungs were drawn using vendor software (IS_v1.4.3 SP1; Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). The SUV was calculated as an absolute measure of 18F-FDG uptake in an ROI as:
[(measured activity concentration, in kBq/mL)/(injected dose, in kBq/body weight, in g)].
All animals were weighed before scanning. SUVmax and SUVmean were defined as the maximum and mean tracer uptake in the ROIs.

Animal experiments were conducted in compliance with the German animal protection laws. For in vivo small-animal PET imaging and organ distribution studies, 8-wk-old BALB/c nude mice (Charles River Laboratories) were inoculated subcutaneously at the right shoulder with 5 • 10 6 tumor cells in Matrigel (BD Bioscience).
Xenografts were grown to a 10-to 15-mm diameter. The mice were anesthetized using isoflurane inhalation, and a 100-mL phosphatebuffered saline solution containing 68 Ga-DOTA-SFLAP3 (HNO97, 37.9 MBq; HNO399, 26 MBq; HNO223, 27 MBq) or 68 Ga-DOTA-SFITGv6 (HNO97, 30 MBq; HNO399, 34 MBq; HNO223, 34 MBq) was injected into the tail vein. Three-dimensional PET images were captured (Siemens Inveon PET scanner) as previously described (12) . To assess the biodistribution, 100 mL of a 20 nM 177 Lu-DOTA-SFLAP3 or 177 Lu-DOTA-SFITGv6 solution (1 MBq) were administered as a bolus injection into the tail vein. At each time point (30, 60, 120, 240, 360 min), we sacrificed 3 animals, collected peripheral blood and the respective organs, weighed the tissues, and measured the radioactivity using a g-counter. Radioactivity (MBq) was expressed as percentage of injected dose (%ID) per gram of tissue.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A lyophilized kit for labeling the PRGD2 peptide purchased from the Jiangsu Institute of Nuclear Medicine was employed according to a previously published study (15 (link)). The radiochemical purity of 18F−RGD exceeded 95%, and its specific radioactivity exceeded 37 GBq (1,000 mCi)/µmol. All micro-PET images were obtained with an Inveon PET scanner (Siemens Preclinical Solutions, LLC, Knoxville, TN, USA) using 18F−RGD. With the assistance of the positioning laser from the Inveon system, each tumor-bearing mouse was placed with its tumor located in the center of the field of view to achieve the highest imaging sensitivity. 18F-RGD PET scans were performed 60 min after tail-vein injection of 18F−RGD (2.4−3.5 MBq) under isoflurane anesthesia with 1.5% isoflurane in 100% oxygen at a flow rate of 1.5 L/min. The PET scans were acquired on a combined PET/CT scanner for 5 min per field of view. The PET images were reconstructed and analyzed using the OSEM−3D IAM software program (IS_v1.4.3 SP1; Siemens Preclinical Solutions, LLC).
